How about a plugin adding a

+[[preprocessor_directive|ikiwiki/directive]] to render some given LaTeX
and include it in the page? This could either render the LaTeX as a PNG via
-[[debpkg dvipng]] and include the resulting image in the page, or perhaps
+[[!debpkg dvipng]] and include the resulting image in the page, or perhaps
render via [HeVeA](http://pauillac.inria.fr/~maranget/hevea/index.html),
[TeX2page](http://www.ccs.neu.edu/~dorai/tex2page/tex2page-doc.html), or
similar. Useful for mathematics, as well as for stuff like the LaTeX version
of the ikiwiki [[/logo]].

ikiwiki could also support LaTeX as a document type, again rendering to HTML.

Conversely, how about adding a plugin to support exporting to LaTeX?
>>> Have a look at [pandoc](http://code.google.com/p/pandoc/). It can make PDFs via pdflatex. --[[roktas]]
+>>>> Interesting, just yesterday I was playing with pandoc to make PDFs from my Markdown. Could someone advise me on how to embed these PDFs into ikiwiki? I need some guidance in implementing this. --[[JosephTurian]]

[here](http://ng.l4x.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=ikiwiki.git/.git;a=blob;f=IkiWiki/Plugin/latex.pm) is a first stab at
a latex plugin. Examples [here](http://ng.l4x.org/latex/). Currently without image support for hevea. And the latex2html
output has the wrong charset and no command line switch to change that. Dreamland.

Okay, now is the time for a mid term report i think.

+I'll test this now on my server. I'll report here later.

+Mh.. For people who know latex very well this would be enough to imagine how the image would look like.
+This are of course the minority of people (but I guess also the minority of people are using non-gui browsers).

+I'll think over this until I'm at work ;) Only for rendering images... not for generating .tex files .../wiki/
+the name is all the same i think. If you like teximg better than switch :)

+
+Ah yes.. sorry forgot to update the plugin in my public_html folder %-). This was my last change in this plugin :) Sorry.
